Alessio Vailati"La mappa del dolore"Riflessioni in versi su trenta fotografie vincitrici del Premio Pulitzer.il ramo e la foglia edizioniwww.ilramoelafogliaedizioni.itLa mappa del dolore è un libro di poesie a tema civile che ripercorre importanti vicende storiche dalla Seconda guerra mondiale ai giorni nostri, affrontando argomenti come la guerra, la povertà, la discriminazione razziale, l'emarginazione, i flussi migratori eccetera.Si tratta pertanto di un libro attuale imperniato sulle immagini icastiche di trenta tragici avvenimenti che hanno segnato la Storia, immortalati in altrettante fotografie vincitrici del Premio Pulitzer. Pur essendo scaturiti dalle fotografie i testi mantengono una certa autonomia e si occupano del lato umano delle vicende narrate. Non si tratta di testi con giudizi di natura politica ed economica quanto piuttosto di un lungo racconto che getta lo sguardo sulla disumanità di quanto ci accade attorno, pur non toccandoci direttamente.Il titolo del libro sta a indicare proprio questo percorso, quasi un viaggio nell'inferno dantesco, così tristemente reale e documentato. Le vicende (le immagini) trattate sono trenta e il loro andamento è scandito attraverso un testo guida che si apre in ulteriori sei testi.Riportiamo i titoli delle trenta poesie contenute nella raccolta di Alessio Vailati, La mappa del dolore - riflessioni in versi su trenta fotografie vincitrici del Premio Pulitzer (in libreria dal 19 settembre 2025); in corrispondenza di ogni titolo si trova il link a una pagina esterna che mostra la fotografia a cui l'autore si è ispirato. I titoli delle poesie non sono gli stessi delle fotografie a cui si ispirano. In corrispondenza dei titoli si trovano i nomi dei fotografi e l'anno in cui hanno vinto il Premio Pulitzer con le loro fotografie.1. Il ritorno di un eroe, Earle Bunker 19442.

How can journalism make people care and bring about solutions? What role does storytelling play in shining a light on injustice and crises and creating a catalyst for change?Nicholas D. Kristof is a two-time Pulitzer-winning journalist and Op-ed columnist for The New York Times, where he was previously bureau chief in Hong Kong, Beijing, and Tokyo. Kristof is a regular CNN contributor and has covered, among many other events and crises, the Tiananmen Square protests, the Darfur genocide, the Yemeni civil war, and the U.S. opioid crisis.

And that's also how I deal with the terror and the fear to find a sense of purpose in what I do. It's incredibly heartbreaking to see some of the things and hear some of the stories, but at the end of the day, it feels like–inconsistently here and there–you can shine a light on problems, and by shining that light, you actually make a difference."www.nytimes.com/column/nicholas-kristofwww.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/720814/chasing-hope-by-nicholas-d-kristofFamily vineyard & apple orchard in Yamhill, Oregon: www.kristoffarms.comwww.creativeprocess.infowww.oneplanetpodcast.orgIG www.instagram.com/creativeprocesspodcastPhoto credit: David Hume Kennerly

Since the industrial revolution began, the US point of view is that we can't get anywhere unless India and China reduce carbon emissions, while India and China say if you look over the last one hundred years, the US is the one who put out all the carbon, and we're just finally getting a little bit richer and you want to cut us off at the knees.There are arguments to be made on both sides, but the fundamental impediment is that 10 years ago, it just seemed really hard to see how we were going to get out of climate change and disastrous consequences, but right now, if you squint a little bit, you can maybe see a path through this period where we reduce carbon emissions enough to figure out how to navigate our way to a future in which things work and we pay a price, but one that is manageable.

David Hume Kennerly has been a photographer on the front lines of history for more than fifty years. At 25 he was one of the youngest winners of the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism. Kennerly's 1972 award for Feature Photography included images of the Vietnam and Cambodia wars, refugees escaping from East Pakistan into India, and the Ali v. Frazier “Fight of the Century” World Heavyweight Championship at Madison Square Garden. Two years later Kennerly was appointed President Gerald R. Ford's Personal White House Photographer.

Periodically I get a guest on Behind the Shot that makes me nervous. This episode is one of those moments. Wish me luck... David Hume Kennerly is a legend. In fact, I would wager money that other 'legends' look to David Hume Kennerly as the standard by which they are judged. All of that is to say that there is no 'starting point' when trying to explain the photojournalist David Hume Kennerly. Still, the blog is here, and I have to start somewhere. Travel with me back to 1972... (insert way back machine sounds here) David was awarded the 1972 Pulitzer Prize in Journalism for Featured Photography, with a winning portfolio that included Ali being knocked down in the 15th round during the Ali v. Frazier “Fight of the Century,” images of the Vietnam and Cambodia wars, and refugees escaping into India from East Pakistan. David was just 25 at the time. Two years later, at just 27, he was appointed President Gerald R. Ford's Personal White House Photographer, the third person to have that job. Again, I have to stress this, by the time David was 27 he'd seen and documented more history that most of us learn in school. In the years since, David has photographed U.S. presidents from Johnson to Biden, and covered thirteen presidential campaigns. He was a Newsweek magazine contributing editor for ten years, and a contributing photographer for Time & Life and George magazines. American Photo named Kennerly “One of the 100 Most Important People in Photography.” Washingtonian Magazine called him "One of the 50 most important journalists in Washington, DC". That is David Hume Kennerly. One of the most important photographers ever, and his TedX talk has a title that really sums it up: Telling the Story in 1/60th of a Second As an author, David is just as successful. Kennerly has published several books of his work, Shooter, Photo Op, Seinoff: The Final Days of Seinfeld, Photo du Jour, Extraordinary Circumstances: The Presidency of Gerald R. Ford, and David Hume Kennerly On the iPhone. He was also a major contributor to the CNN 2016 book, Unprecedented: The Election that Changed Everything. His exclusive portrait of Trump is on the cover. He was executive producer of The Spymasters, a 2015 CBS/Showtime documentary about the directors of the CIA. He also produced The Presidents' Gatekeepers, a four-hour Discovery Channel film about White House chiefs of staff. Kennerly was nominated for a Primetime Emmy as executive producer of NBC's, The Taking of Flight 847, and was the writer and executive producer of a two-hour NBC pilot filmed in Thailand, Shooter, starring Helen Hunt. Shooter, based on Kennerly's Vietnam experiences, won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Cinematography. In 2019 The University of Arizona Center for Creative Photography acquired the David Hume Kennerly Archive that features almost a million images, prints, objects, memorabilia, correspondence and documents. University President Dr. Robert C. Robbins appointed Kennerly as the university's first Presidential Scholar. When trying to pick an image for this show I lost over an hour browsing through David's site, specifically his 'Greatest Hits' gallery. The image of U.S. President Gerald Ford at the desk in the Oval Office, feet up is amazing. This was the day after he became president, August 10, 1974, and the bookshelves are empty because Nixon's things had been removed, but Ford's memorabilia had yet to arrive, due to the suddenness of the transition. The image of Mohammed Ali being knocked down in the 15th round at Madison Square Garden by Joe Frazier was part of Kennerly's Pulitzer Prize-winning portfolio. Then there was "The Hug", an image where Michelle Obama is hugging former president George W. Bush. Picking one image was hard, but with David's help we found the shot. There is a quote on David's website from James Earl Jones that wraps up David's career perfectly: “David Hume Kennerly is like Forrest Gump, except he was really there.”

My Fellow Americans: The Inaugural Addresses of the U.S. Presidents
Gerald Ford delivered his remarks upon assuming the office of the president on August 9th, 1974. Read by Susan Swain, author, journalist & co-CEO of C-SPAN. Assuming the presidency after the resignation of Richard Nixon, Ford would go on to serve a partial term of 2 years and 164 days. He would pardon his predecessor, an unpopular move that contributed to his loss against Jimmy Carter. Part of his reasoning: “That purpose was to change our national focus. I wanted to do all I could to shift our attentions from the pursuit of a fallen President to the pursuit of the urgent needs of a rising nation. Our nation is under the severest of challenges now to employ its full energies and efforts in the pursuit of a sound and growing economy at home and a stable and peaceful world around us.” The cover art is a photo of Gerald Ford taken on August 27th, 1974 by David Hume Kennerly.

Please join me in welcoming David Kennerly to the Podcast. At the age of 25 David won the Pulitzer Prize in Journalism for Feature Photography for his work in Vietnam. He has photographed 10 presidents, and all 3 impeachment trials. He was with Hillary Clinton when she received news about FBI Director Comey and with Donald Trump the evening he won the election. He photographed the summit between Ronald Reagan and Mikail Gorbachov, the legendary Ali -Frazier Prize Fight, and the Miracle Mets. The range of iconic events that he has covered is hard to fathom. To quote his friend James Earl Jones, “David is like Forest Gump, except he was really there.Photo by David KennerlyFirst Lady Michelle Obama greets former President George W. Bush with a hug at the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture in Washington DC on September 24, 2016.

On today's podcast I speak with photographer David Hume Kennerly. David Hume Kennerly is a pulitzer prize winning photographer for his images documenting the Vietnam and Cambodia wars, refugees escaping from East Pakistan to India, and the Ali vs. Frazier “Fight of the Century”. David worked as the official white house photographer for President Gerald R. Ford where he had unrestricted access to the President on a daily basis. In this interview I speak to David about his early days working for newspapers in the Pacific Northwest, his friendship with Ansel Adams who he photographed for the cover of Time Magazine, and I also speak to David about his approach to covering US politics for nearly 50 years for the top publications in the business.
